How Trucking Company Insurers Lowball Crash Victims on I-10 and How to Push Back
Every Conversation Is Recorded
A lot of people think that they can negotiate with trucking company insurance on their own, but little do they know that every conversation is recorded, and any time that you mention that you are feeling better, or that you are willing to accept a certain sum of money that would compensate you for the short term, but not for the long term, that is used against you.
How an Attorney Changes the Negotiation
When an attorney negotiates, we understand that the Texas rules of evidence do not allow for insurance companies to use negotiations against an injured person in a court of law, will fight for your right to a reasonable and realistic, and much higher compensation model. Attorneys are well versed in Texas laws that determine liability as well as the Texas Laws of Evidence that assist people recover for claims. Do not do this alone. You just do not know what you do not know to achieve your best compensation model.
Yes, They Will Lowball You
Yes, they will lowball you. Yes, they will take advantage of you simply because you are not represented. Yes they will attempt to deny your claim. Yes they will fail to return your calls and your emails. Yes, the negotiations 100% of the time will start low, sometimes even less than what you owe in medical. But that is no determination of what your overall recovery should be and could be if you have an attorney.
Do Not Negotiate on Your Own
Do not waste any time. Do not negotiate on your own. You could be doing more harm in your case than good.
